Cafe Santorini
Saturday night, we had a group of 17 folks heading for the Capitol Steps show at CalTech. This has become an annual ritual for the original FoodNuts. We decided to eat first, since the show was at 8:00 pm, and Terry made reservations for us at Cafe Santorini in Pasadena.
A few of us were a tad early to the restaurant, so we enjoyed a really good sangria. Not as good as my own, of course, but very good nonetheless.
The restaurant was lovely. The food was even lovelier. The service was perfect; and the attention of the manager for our party was amazing. None of us, of course, brought cameras, so we had to make do with cell-phones.
For a starter, my wife and I shared their shrimp saltada, which was a plate of Black tiger shrimp baked with roasted potatoes and garlic Parmesan sauce over grilled French bread. I have to admit that the bread was a very pleasant surprise; this would have made a lovely entree rather than a starter.
Roz decided that she was more inclined to comfort for the show (and I agreed) if we ordered salads. She decided to try the lamb and spinach salad, which was amazing, and I had the Caesar with a perfectly cooked portion of salmon.
This left us with enough room for a dessert — chocolate mouse cake with a raspberry sauce that went perfect with espresso and Grand Marnier.
We’ll be back.

Well, here we go!
Our latest adventure, at Chez Cherie in La Canada learning to make tapas
We, the food nuts of Santa Clarita, do hereby ordain and appoint this, FoodNuts.Com, to be our official repository of news, stories, and other details of our explorations in the wide world of food, wine, fun, and travel.
We’ve been messing about with food and fun together for a few years now, and thought it would be nice to have a place to share our adventures with a wider audience, and learn more about what other folks are doing at the same time.
We will also be inviting other friends of ours to share with us on this site, so hopefully this will grow into an active foodie community. Keep an eye on this site; we’ll be adding content on a regular basis.
Louise and I are the administrators of the site, but there will be a variety of authors. Louise, of course, being an accomplished linguist, will hopefully be able to clean up our usage and tone down my hyperbole, etc., whilst I try to make the site attractive, manage SEO, links, etc. and other back-of-the-house matters.
